Privacy Policy
Hospitality Mentors Inc ("we") operates MentoCore, a workplace safety and quality platform. This policy explains what personal data we process, why, how long we keep it, and the rights you have.
Who is responsible
For personal data about our own customers and website visitors, Hospitality Mentors Inc is the data controller. For customer content that a workspace uploads about its own employees and operations, the customer organization is the controller and MentoCore acts as a processor under our Data Processing Agreement.

What we collect
- Account data — name, email address, organization, role, optional phone number for SMS reminders.
- Customer content — inspections, corrective actions, incidents, SOPs, training records, schedules, traceability lots, uploaded photos and files.
- Device & telemetry data — sensor readings your organization connects, push subscription tokens, and offline drafts stored in your own browser.
- Operational logs — request logs, email and notification delivery records, and audit events describing who did what in the app.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not use customer content to train third-party AI models.
Why we process it (legal bases)
- Contract — to provide the service you or your employer subscribed to.
- Legitimate interests — keeping the platform secure, preventing abuse, improving reliability, and supporting customers.
- Legal obligation — retaining records where law requires it and responding to lawful requests.
- Consent — optional channels such as SMS reminders and marketing email, which you can withdraw at any time.
AI features
Some features send the content you submit (for example a checklist draft prompt or an inspection photo) to our AI provider to generate a response. Prompts are processed to return your result and are not used to train the provider's models. AI output is a draft: a human reviews and approves it inside the product.
How long we keep data
| Data type | Retention | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Account & profile data | Life of the account + 30 days | Purged after the deletion grace period ends. |
| Inspections, actions, incidents | Life of the workspace | Kept as compliance records until the organization deletes them or closes the workspace. |
| Evidence photos & uploaded files | Life of the parent record | Deleted with the inspection, action, or SOP they belong to. |
| Sensor readings | 24 months rolling | Older readings are aggregated and the raw rows removed. |
| Email & notification delivery logs | 90 days | Used for delivery troubleshooting and abuse prevention. |
| Audit events | 24 months | Exportable by organization admins at any time. |
| Backups | Up to 35 days | Backups age out on their own schedule after data is deleted from active systems. |
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct, export, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You can exercise the two most common rights yourself, without contacting us:
- Export — Settings → Privacy & data → Export my data downloads a machine-readable JSON copy of your records.
- Deletion — Settings → Privacy & data → Delete my account schedules permanent deletion after a 30-day grace period, during which you can cancel.
For anything else, email privacy@hospitalitymentors.net. We respond within 30 days.
Sharing and international transfers
We share data only with the sub-processors listed on our sub-processor page, each bound by a written agreement. Where data moves outside the EEA or UK, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and stored in a managed Postgres database with row-level security enforced per organization. See our security page and trust page for details.
Children
MentoCore is a workplace tool and is not directed to anyone under 16.
